  1. I play a full step down pretty much exclusively and have done for over a year or so now and really I've found it quite a sobering and educational process. It does take adjusting to and can throw other bassists and guitarists off but if you're competent with playing in a lower tuning then you should be able to make it easy for others to understand what and where you're playing.
  2. [quote name='JD1' post='989373' date='Oct 15 2010, 04:00 PM']As ever with stuff like this its in the ear of the beholder and there are so many other variables messing with the equation. I felt the original was a bit un refined, and I wasn't too keen on how it was voiced (rumble and clank). But like I say, horses for courses.[/quote] Indeed man, it just generally seems to me that the consensus with the MM jazz is that the preamp is weak and should be replaced. Much the same with Spector Euro's and the Tonedump.
  3. This is peculiar, I actually quite like the stock preamp in my MM. It's easy to attain that Marcus tone but I also find it quite flexible tone wise as well. I've owned a Sadowsky MV4 before and if anything the tone is very similar to that, powerful and variable. Maybe I've just got a good one?
  4. Any clone to me is a bad player, no matter whether they can play in time or not, if they are just sapping completely on one persons creativity and claiming it as their own that's when I personally see them as a bad player because they lack their own creativity to the extent they completely use someone else's and try to pass it off as their own, tribute acts are different and it is part of the act.
  5. I recently left my band about 2 weeks ago now as I had really reached that point where I didn't want to continue playing those songs and I admitted to not having the drive to stick with it as I've now got my mind set on going to Uni. A lot went into my decision and luckily it went down pretty respectfully and it's on the best of terms I could've hoped for and I feel I've made the right choice. Just talk it out with them, tell them your not happy and if you really can't see yourself sticking with it other than forcing yourself then that's a clear sign that you are done and that's the best time to say so.
  6. Since recently leaving my band and soon to be saving up for Uni these are now surplus to requirements so now is the best time to move these great cabs on. These have been my longest serving cabs and they have always sounded consistent and never failed in any situation. One of the cabs is a bit more tatty than the other, they have seen quite a lot of gigging action and picked up a few more scratches along the way but they both work perfectly fine. I only have the one photo of them both as they are currently residing at the studio I use to rehearse at, but they can be retrieved for some new photos if requested, anyways here is the pic: [u][b]Specs:[/b][/u] 600W RMS into 8 ohms Dual 12" neodymium speakers with horn 36Hz-19kHz. Dimensions: 59,69 x 62,23 x 41,91 cm Weight: 23 kg Both cabs come with wheels and have handles and are an easy one person lift, and they also both come with a GK speak cable. SOLD Thanks, Josh.
  7. [quote name='jayblaze' post='962763' date='Sep 20 2010, 09:36 PM']is this still for sale????? wanna trade for a dingwall abz 5?[/quote] As the title suggests, this has been sold for a while now.
  8. [quote name='alinbassplayer' post='959821' date='Sep 17 2010, 07:32 PM']i want this so muuuuuch, somebody needs to buy the ibanez from me, i have such big plans with this thumb....goddamnit.... anyways guess you're not interested in a trade since you lowered the price....[/quote] I'm afraid not man. My want for a MM Jazz is now sorted.
  9. Still no interest even at £550, that's not right.
  10. Right, for today only if anyone can get £550 to me today they can have the bass, I could really do with the money right now and someone is going to get a Custom NT Thumb for almost nothing. So that's £550 p&p included.

  13. Bump. Even at £600 for a NT Thumb and only little if any interest.
  14. [quote name='bubinga5' post='939182' date='Aug 29 2010, 09:05 AM']i bet when you get a Lakland 55-02 Josh your (understandable) search for a bass, may be over for a while..[/quote] I doubt that very much looking at my track record.
  15. Still here, and still would love a good active jazz. Bump.
  16. [quote name='Waldo' post='917577' date='Aug 6 2010, 11:54 PM']Someone needs to buy my GB. Like, right now [/quote] It's a nice GB man
  17. Since being in California for just under a week, I've been able to play on a few Marcus Miller jazz basses and I'm really getting a feel for them so if anyone has one they'd trade I'd happily do so and I can add cash for the right one Bump.
